tidal volume (tv)
amount of air inhaled and exhaled in one cycle during quiet breathing
500 mL
inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
amount of air in excess of tidal volume that can be inhaled with maximum effort
3000 mL
expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
amount of air in excess of tidal volume that can be exhaled with maximum effort
1200 mL
residual volume (RV)
amount of air remaining in the lungs after maximum expiration
the amount that can never be voluntarily exhaled
1300 mL
vital capacity (VC)
the amount of air that can be inhaled and then exhaled with maximum effort
the deepest possible breath
=ERV+TV+IRV
4700 mL
inspiratory capacity (IC)
maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal tidal expiration
=TV+IRV
3500 mL
Inspiratory capacity (IC)
maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal tidal expiration
=TV+IRV
3500 mL
functional residual capacity (FRC)
amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal tidal expiration
=RV+ERV
2500 mL
total lung capacity (TLC)
maximum amount of air the lungs can contain
=RV+VC
6000 mL
